I'm in love!!

[Smita, Ollie and Juno]

It has been a week since my last update and I have to say...I'm in love!!! Oliver is turning out to be the biggest sweetheart doodle. No more growling when picked up! Seems like it was insecurity on his part about getting to know us. He loves people, other dogs, cats and basically everybody. He is also our dining area vacuum cleaner. he goes on sniffing expeditions under the table to look for crumbs that I may have missed cleaning after the kids' dinner. He gives the sweetest kisses (or 'nip-kisses' as my 5 year old calls them). The baby gate to keep him in the family room/kitchen has made a huge difference to my sanity. He loves food...any food. We have renamed him a labragoat/ goatdoodle because he eats like one and looks like a goat sleeping on his back sometimes too..His weight has doubled in the 3 weeks that we've had him. I can still feel his ribs fairly easily so I don't think he is overweight. Just growing!
Here is Ollie in a down-stay:

And here he is saying "mommy! get me out of this dumb thing!"

Ollie is just the cutest doodle ever! That coat is magnificent and the color is so nice.

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Ollie is another one (along with Rooney) that I cannot wait to see what the coat looks like as an adult doodle! He is just so absolutely adorable! Happy to hear that things are settling down and you all are getting into a routine that is working! They do have a way of working their way into your heart. I always tell DH, I actually think I can feel them in my heart! It is just a wonderful, amazing (and sometimes scary) feeling just how much I love them!

[Ricki and Tara (doodle)]

I'm so glad to hear he has passed that rough"stage"!! You sound much calmer !!!! :) He really is an absolute DOLL!

[Allyson, Peri & Taquito]

I think Oliver is one of the cutest doods I have seen! Beautiful! I know how this love thing feels, these doodles really melt your heart, more than any other dog I have every had (don't tell Taquito that).
